Stephen SheppardAugust 11, 2021An intimate and romantic atmosphere, with a high-quality and affordable wine list. We had Mussels and Sea Bass, both were excellent. Friendly, attentive, but not intrusive service.Upvote3Downvote

- AT WawaAugust 13, 2017Not what was expected & highly overrated. The fried quinoa & waffles were good, the ice tea wasn't. The croque monsieur wasn't amazing either.
